Uhm. Is it because nobody buys her book(s)? Idk I have a friend who is published author with like 100 sold copies and he for certain remembers he's a published author? Oh look at that almost snuck in brag about not owning a TV! The dream is dead! How is she building a better world? And the fact that we were raised to believe we would inherit a better world than our parents were raised in, only to have the rug pulled out from under us and told that’s not how it works, is nothing short of gaslighting. OMG Allow me to regurgitate a review on Goodreads by Danielle that summarizes what I took away from that blog post. I cannot imagine sitting through that book... Also this:I’m a published author — a fact I manage to forget on a regular basis.
I started my writing journey as a minimalism blogger. I used to write about how I only owned five pairs of shoes, and how I maintained my 500 square foot apartment and didn’t own a TV, and how I aspired to fit everything I owned into my Honda Fit.
I have more stuff now — and a larger car. I no longer write about minimalism.
The millennial generation is highly educated and makes up the largest portion of the global workforce. And yet we’re still picking up gig work and second jobs to make ends meet because the status quo didn’t get the memo that we’re building a better world.
I’m not sure if you know this, but society is meant to change and adapt. The fact that the United States minimum wage has stagnated at $7.25 since 2009 while the cost of living soars is not an accident. It’s by design.
Read like an idiot’s tumblr post circa 2010. A fee of the right questions asked, very few “right” or even thoughtful, let alone researched, conclusions. I’m shocked this was published.
